Overview

Usage

The ProMix 2KE is an electronic two-component paint
proportioner. It can blend most two-component paints. It
is not for use with quick-setting paints (those with a pot
life of less than 5 minutes).
• Has dynamic dosing capabilities. It dispenses mate-
rial A, monitors fluid flow, and dispenses material B
in doses to cause the mixture to stay on ratio.
